<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>path</B> command queries and manipulates the various
      search paths used by magic.  Without arguments, path
      <B>search</B> is assumed.  The three search paths are:
      <DL>
	<DT> <B>search</B>
	<DD> The search path for layout files.
	<DT> <B>cell</B>
	<DD> Search path for tutorial cells.
	<DT> <B>sys</B>
	<DD> Search path for technology files.
      </DL>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

   The <B>+</B> option allows the path component <I>path</I> to be
   appended to the indicated search path.  Otherwise, the indicated
   search path is replaced by the contents of <I>path</I>.

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>path</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
      The use <B>path search +</B><I>path</I> supercedes the <B>addpath</B>
      command, as the <B>path</B> command is more general.
